MCRO Notifies Voters Impacted by MVD Data Glitch

Here’s How to Check and Fix Your Registration

The Maricopa County Recorder’s Office (MCRO) has announced that a technical issue with the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) may have incorrectly altered some voters’ party affiliations. If you recently updated your driver’s license or voter registration through the MVD, your political party designation might have been changed or removed without your consent.

What Happened?

A data glitch occurred when voters updated their information through the MVD, causing some party affiliations to be improperly modified. While the issue has been fixed, affected voters must take action to ensure their registration is accurate before upcoming elections.

What Should Voters Do?

Check Your Voter Registration Status
- Visit the Arizona Voter Information Portal and enter your details to verify your party affiliation and registration status.
- Alternatively, call the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office at (602) 506-1511 for assistance.
Correct Any Errors
- If your party affiliation is wrong or missing, you must submit a new voter registration form to update it.
- You can register or update your information:
  1. Online at Tomorrow We Vote or ServiceArizona.com
  2. By mail by downloading and submitting a voter registration form
  3. In person at the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office or any MVD location
Act Before the Deadline
- To participate in the next election, ensure your registration is corrected before the voter registration deadline (typically 29 days before Election Day).

No Data Was Lost or Compromised

The MCRO assures voters that no personal information was exposed or deleted—only party affiliations were affected. The issue has been resolved with the MVD to prevent future errors.

Why This Matters

Your party affiliation determines which primary elections you can vote in. If your registration was changed incorrectly, you may be unable to vote in your preferred party’s primary. You will have 90 days from the time you receive information by mail to respond and update your information. Failure to do so will kick you from the State voter rolls leaving you only at the federal level.

Don’t wait—check your registration today to ensure your vote counts!
